Hollie McNish.
AN award-winning spoken word poet will make an appearance at Tobar Naofa in Tralee this Friday evening.
Hollie McNish is a poet and author based between Glasgow and Cambridge. She was the first poet to record at Abbey Road Studios, London and won the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry for her poetic parenting memoir – Nobody Told Me.
McNish has made a name as one of the hottest names in spoken word, having shot to prominence through her viral videos. After a run of sold out shows up and down the UK, Hollie McNish is back with a brand new book, ‘Lobster and other things I’m learning to love’.

.
A Sunday Times bestselling writer whose live readings are not to be missed, expect strong language and adult content, gift-wrapped in gorgeously crafted poetry.
In Lobster, Hollie brings her much-loved style to questions of friendship, flags and newborns, clocks and volvos, shining a ridiculous and beautifully poetic lens upon all those things we have been taught to hate, and which we might just learn to love again.
She will be joined in Tralee by fellow poet Michael Pedersen reading from his latest books The Cat Prince and Boy Friends.
